However, the development of Wget could never have gone as far as it has, were
it not for the help of many people, either with bug reports, feature proposals,
patches, or letters saying “Thanks!”.

Special thanks goes to the following people (no particular order):

Dan Harkless—contributed a lot of code and documentation of
extremely high quality, as well as the --page-requisites and
related options. He was the principal maintainer for some time and
released Wget 1.6.

The dotsrc.org crew, in particular Karsten Thygesen—donated system
resources such as the mailing list, web space, FTP space, and
version control repositories, along with a lot of time to make these
actually work. Christian Reiniger was of invaluable help with setting
up Subversion.

Heiko Herold—provided high-quality Windows builds and contributed
bug and build reports for many years.

Ralf Wildenhues—contributed patches to convert Wget to use Automake as
part of its build process, and various bugfixes.

Steven Schubiger—Many helpful patches, bugfixes and improvements.
Notably, conversion of Wget to use the Gnulib quotes and quoteargs
modules, and the addition of password prompts at the console, via the
Gnulib getpasswd-gnu module.

Ted Mielczarek—donated support for CSS.

Saint Xavier—Support for IRIs (RFC 3987).

People who provided donations for development—including Brian Gough.

The following people have provided patches, bug/build reports, useful
suggestions, beta testing services, fan mail and all the other things
that make maintenance so much fun:
